This is the first time I tried anything like this. To the rest of you it is probably amateur, but for me this is a real accomplishment! It is a gift for a 16th birthday for our friends in Denmark's handicapped child.

1. it doesn't look "amateur" at all. i've seen plenty of quilts like that for sale for hefty prices.
2. it's obviously very pretty. besides, most of us are less than thrilled by the way our cameras change the colors and contrast of things we want to post.
3. there's nothing wrong with it. string quilts are supposed to be whimsical, casual, comforting and inviting. your quilt is all of those things.
